From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawing, it should be apparent thatI have provided a simplyconstructed and eliicient cuspidoi' which may be used conveniently uponrailroad cars, boats, or public Vehicles of different kinds and whichmay be opened for the purpose of cleaning the same with a minimumexpenditure of time and energy.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

The combination with a support, of a cuspidor attached thereto andcomprising a depending, hollow' body having its lower end open, aclosure for the said end of the body pivotally connected thereto forvertical swinging movement, an arm projecting laterally Afrom theclosure oppositely with respect to its point of pivotal connection tothe body, the said support being provided with a vertical openingadjacent to the body,

an operating rod connected to the extremity of the said arm andextending upwardly through the said support opening for verticalreoiprocation and slight oscillatory movement therein, yieldable meansfor normally maintaining the said closure in its inoperative positionwith the operating rod in its uppermost position, means provided uponthe said rod tor engagement with the under face of the support when inits lowermost position to maintain the closure locked when the upper endof the operating rod is swung laterally, the body of the device beingpro- :vided inv its exterior portionwith a recess having an inclinedinner face, and a locking lever pivotally/ connected to the tree end ofthe operating rod with one ot its arms constructed shorter than thewidth of the support opening and adapted for terminal engagement withthe said inclined face ot the body recess, the opposite arm ot' thelever
